SURPRISE! Yes I am posting on our blog.
After reading Jared Thomas' blog on losing weight, I felt that it would be fun to document the efforts that Tom and I are making to shed a few pounds ourselves.
After talking with our Doctor and our neighbors who have had tried the diet, Tom and I decided we would give the "Ideal Protein" diet a try. Dr. Taylor had nothing but good things to say about it. Although the first discussion we had about it, he said it was a little bit expensive.
We have the funds and the desire so spending some hard earned money to be healthier will be worth it!
We met last night with our diet coach, whom I believe is a nurse practitioner. She has lost 70 lbs on the diet and has been on the it for 6 months.
We were measured and weighed. She asked us to set a target goal.
Tom wants to lose 40 lbs. I want to lose 45 lbs.
We will meet with her on a weekly basis to be weighed measured and to purchase the food for the following week. It is a very regimented diet for the first phase. After we lose 90% of our goal weight we will move into phase 2. We eat their food and vitamins for breakfast, lunch and also the snack. And for dinner we fix food from the list of food we can use. I think Tom will be excited that everyday he will have a meal prepared for him!!
NO SIMPLE SUGARS! WE CAN DO THIS! WE CAN DO THIS! WE CAN DO THIS!
